Dear Meeka,

I remember the day you came to my house. I wanted a dog so bad you could not even imagine. I was only 8 at the time. You came to our house on Fathers day. Maybe thats why your daddy loves you so dearly! You were so scrawny and thin when I first saw you. I couldnt bear to look at you poor face lighting up when we brought you food. Lighting up when you saw our faces. I begged and begged that we could keep you. I prayed to god that you would stay over night. And you did.
Meeka, you mean the world to me. You are always there for me when I feel sad. Your happy face always licks away my tears. You were never once mean to any animal or other dog. Remember when Luci tried to attack you? You never fought back. Instead you befriended her. Remember our dear sweet Jed boy? I remember the first day you saw him, and he saw you. He barked once, and ran off. I could see it in your eyes that you fell in love. From then on, he was your best friend. You romped our field all day and night. You made him happy. You taught him how to love. And I wish with all my heart that we never had to take him away from you. I remember how heart broken you were to see that he was gone, forever. I cried and cried for days. But I know I was not feeling as much sorrow as you. Just remember Meeka, it is because of YOU, that he is in a safe, loving home.
Meeka, you are a wonderful girl. I love the way you wait until I reach the 5th stair and ask if its ok to go down. I love the way you kick your leg when I rub your belly. I love the way you play with apples on the golf course... even though we arent suppose to. Remember that time you got one of the apples stuck to your tooth? You looked so silly when you came to me to get it off! I love the way you make me laugh. I love the way you guard Rodneys cage to protect him when he's outside. I love the way you lay your head on my knee when you go to sleep. I love how you are so humble when you do somthing funny. I love that you love me. And most of all, I love you. Meeka, you mean the world to me, and I dont know what I would do without you. I know I will have many more dogs in my lifetime. But NO dog will ever leave footprints in the place of my heart, that you have. I wish that you never had to feel one ounce of pain. I love you forever Meeka. You are my prescious baby girl.
